The daily verse triggers a thought: What does Jesus mean when He says He came to bring division? The question roots in the mission for which Jesus came; to save us from the wages of sin. Getting lost in the verses immediately after verse fifty one could be expected because the results are mentioned. Today, we will discuss what he meant by the division.

Take a moment to read further; perhaps to the end of chapter 12. 

We see that Jesus mentioned that members of family within the house will be di...

The world has questions. We were born in it, so we have questions. Since birth, we have learned the many components of our lives stem from observation, experience and growth. This is not limited to one culture; this is a "people thing". What is general law, and how did it come about? How do we know that pain - to most of us - is unattractive? How do we know that happiness is a certain type of internal achievement? The answer will likely revolve lessons we have learned as we grew older. How di...

Proverbs 5 ESV (Dec. 5, 2018) | A Statement to Young Men (Dec. 5, 2018)



I suggest reading the article before listening to the song.

Life happens.... for us all. It seems that we have rare control over most details among the lives we live. Yes; this fact includes our day-to-day engagements, our thoughts and perceptions, and even our relationships with people.

When two people meet to spend seasons together, as did Elijah and Elisha; the prophets, those people become attached. Sometimes, the individuals become best friends, members who seem closer than siblings, spouses, or partners. Regardless of time, those formed bonds bec...

Heaven. What's it like?  Why should I want to go there? Can I be approved for entry based on my standards of fairness? We have all faced these questions in either a direct (conspicious) or indirect (implied or unspoken) way. It is even possible to to hold answers to questions, we have never asked. We all have a worldview. We all act based on our ideas and experiences. My Question to you is: Does it matter?

Please, allow me to be honest with you. I am a fellow servant, nothing more.

I had many self-regrets. I had thrown away many years into nothing and prospered in no way. Many of the wages of my works do not belong to me; they are unfairly taken by people I don't know. All of this came from a massive attack of my enemy; a divorce - several years ago - that drew me to run away into isolation with a devastating feeling of betrayal from the people I associated with. Anxiety became a problem,  drink...

Trying hard to succeed is normal for business-minded individuals. It is also true to those who true followers of Christ. If you have never experienced a true relationship with God; I mean literally being connected and knowing it, the relationship is actually possible. Effort and devotion is necessary for any relationship; this includes the relationship we have with God. 

For those of us who know that the relationship is real, the first time you really experienced the actual love from God was m...

From the beginning of time - as we learn - God created all things and chose humanity to rule over them. We were made more intelligent than all creation; God made us in His image.

While I was reading in the book of Numbers, chapter 12 was significantly important in identifying the answer to the question, "Did God Really Choose You?" I will not spoil the read, however, I will state that in the middle of doubt or other insecurities, God will always stand by His Word and by your side as you stand ...

1. I just saw the Earth destroyed internally.
2. The ground caves in, Large holes everywhere. Houses and roads collapsing.
3. Hills, decorations, people engulfed by lava from the ground that poured out everywhere, including the military. It came from Everywhere. The ground was soft. No one could escape.
4. ...
5. Before I was engulfed, God set me up in a place in the sky that held together by pillows; a few people were there. I was appaud to be caught up. I wondered what was going on. Shortly, we, the peo...

When faced with temptations, our actions are many; I won't go into those details. But I will say that I am a male in my late 20s; my desires can be many. At times they are tough to smash. Other times they are simple to conquer. However battle  of the mind persists, we can read or think back to Psalms 103. The passage selected as the Daily Verse, today, can help us conquer what we need to overcome. 

The passage reads, "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:" I'm not saying ...

I am not here to tell you something you already know. I am here to tell you something you are uncertain of:

God called you, and you know that. God touched you, and you know that. God set a plan for your life, and you are uncertain of what it is. Look at the hand of God.

I am here to tell you that your life is a blessing to others, but you have a hard time sharing it. Perhaps the reason is due to the jealousy of another person and how you may feel guilty because a small sense of entitlement is w...

Like investing in bonds, everything has a maturity date and time. Most of us have no clue as to when we become mature. Maturity is relative to an individual's time based on specific tasks given them. 

After reading the Daily Verse, I can conclude that before I can minister to anyone, I have to go through preparation. Before I can drive a car, I have to learn about driving and the laws concerning traffic. Before I go to college, I have to pass the basics.  These analogies are to explain that we...

Modern human calculate truth from what they know aside from what they don't know. There is a possibility for things to exist, but not until it can be proven. A lake of fire can't exist, but there is both magma and lava. 

After reading the Daily Verse, for May 9, 2016, I continue to find reason to believe that things exist that we may not believe in. We believe that a car can drive, we believe that a shoe could skate, we believe that women can create children, but we don't believe that the Son ...

Our outlook on the world could be as opposite as cold and hot. God's view is different. He knew long ago what was to happen in the past, and knows what is going to happen in the future. He gave us His word so we would have similar knowledge. He knows in detail; He gave us a summary.  After all these years of being denied, God still loves us.  He wants us to come Home. He wants to give us a new love; one like never imagined. He wants to re-clothe you in a spotless garment, and tell you that yo...

In the Light of the Lord's word, we can see that we are perfectly individual; not as a species, but as a soul directly connected to the Father as a breath of Life. How marvelously are we made! Satan knows that, and he stands to persuade us to be disconnected from the Father (by our works, intentions, feelings, desires, pride, etc...). He just wants what God has. His jealousy of his Creator (Our Creator) caused him to utterly fall. Now, he wants to claim God's breath of Life- our souls- and us...

As we wake up to early starts: the birds are chirping, the wind is blowing, and the sun is shining down upon mankind, we think our plans into existence.  Throughout those plans, obstacles begin to interfere, and the interference of those obstacles alters our mood, at least for the rest of day.  Focus is the one thing that can help us see a brighter picture.  Focus helps us see what God is trying to say.  Now for the stubborn people who has it all figure out through science of the modern day, ...

Every day given to us is for a purpose. At times, we think that "our day" is to be used for normal livelihood and taking care of children. Although that is a true part of life, what is our purpose for living? Why does God give us the strength to do what we need to do; even at our weakest point; when we feel like we shouldn't do "it"? Our subconscious tells us that we want more. Naturally, we feel whatever "more" is is on the outside of us. What feels absent is always there. Call on God. There...

In this walk of faith, the people of God spiritually grow, and are tested. And as we may have all experienced victory during tests, we have all experienced failure as well. It is a logical idea that in order to succeed one will have to know what failure feels like. It is nearly impossible to succeed without failing; at least for the most of us.

When going through a trial, of which you may fail, pray to the Father, God, for forgiveness and strength. He will give you what you ask for. The immedi...

People we define as scientists study the periodic table to find chemicals and elements, on a fundemental level. However, we are all scientists. How? Because we all have or have had an education. What is education? Education is the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction. What is science? Science is the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment. So, by th...
